Getting your meter data from Momentum Energy

The PDF request form: the box to tick, and where to email it.

How your file gets from Momentum to your report

You. Have these ready. A recent bill, for your account number and meter number (NMI). Your date of birth. A way to sign and email a PDF.

The way Momentum works, from our guide below. Tap a stop to hold it.

What this means for you

The file is your data, and Momentum has to give it to you if you ask. You don't have to say why.

In short

You ask Momentum for your meter data file (NEM12) with a form. Choose detailed metering data via email (in .csv format) when it asks what you want. When the file comes, you add it to your report.

Momentum Energy is a retailer, the company that bills you. You ask for your meter data file (NEM12) with a PDF form that you fill in, sign and email back.

Keep in mind

Where you live changes the quickest way. In Victoria and South Australia your network, the company that owns the poles and wires, has a download portal and is usually quicker than a retailer.
